On his birthday today, Harman Baweja talks about his past, present and future
If you'd asked me about Harman Baweja (Yes, it is no longer Hurman) a few months ago, I would've told you he is a sweet chap, who is immature, has a God complex and he feels persecuted. But that's changed now. I still think he is alright but he has now matured, shed his insecurities and is at ease with who he is. What else has changed? He is no longer with his girlfriend of five years, Priyanka Chopra.
Has be changed because of the split or in spite of it, isn't important. What matters, is that he isn't looking back. Today on his 29th birthday (he doesn't look it though), for the first time, he talks about his life, his work, his (now ex) girlfriend and bonding with Shahid (now PC's ex). It's hard to keep track of all that's changing. So without any further delay, read on to discover the new and improved Harman Baweja
Today is your first 'single' birthday in five years, how do you plan to celebrate it?
I have no plans. But let me tell you that I haven't had a birthday party since I was 18. Every year, my sister or my friends throw a party for me. And I am hoping this year too, it will be the same.
You are turning 29 and you were in a serious relationship for five years... so am I right in guessing you are going to stay far, far away from a serious relationship now?
Yes, no more serious relationships for me. And when I do get married it will be to a nice Punjabi girl from Chandigarh that my mother selects for me.
Very filmi.
Maybe. But that's what I believe right now. Have even told mom about it.
Your mom and also your sister were rather close to Priyanka. Did their equation with her change?
No, they are friends and still talk. And my family is not like that. If they accept someone, then it is for life. And I am not the sort of person to tell them not to be friends or close to anyone just because I am not. Also, Priyanka is a lovely girl. We may not be close anymore but nothing changes that.
Did you go through the whole getting over a serious relationship by having meaningless trysts with whosoever was available?
(Laughs) You know how it is, when you are feeling down, your buddies take it upon themselves to pull you out of that hole you've crawled into. My friends too did that. They would drag me out and they'd ask a lot of girls out too. And we'd party all night. I don't like to drink too much, when I do, I love shots and once you've downed a few, you and are willing to try anything.
